Nuckys girl got monster t*ts... Laaaawd
That wasnt Al Capones nikkas. BTW.
Breh, Their writing is top tier how the got Van Alden in all these major events, but doesn't make it seem forced. This season push them back in the top after a lackluster first half of season 3.
And that c00n joking made me want to kill him breh. Cringe worthy. Ahhh I hated it so much.

Who wasn't Al Capone's nikkas? The dude (Frank Yale) who killed Obanion? They weren't in the Chicago outfit, but those were Capone's nikkas.
And I agree 100% about how they mix in the fictional characters. Reminds me of how they did it in Rome...damn shame that show only got two seasons.
I wish they woulda showed the arguement that caused it, but having Capone and homie beef so early kinda took away that possibility.

Wait, I'm confused, the argument that caused what?

I wonder if the dude who played that role will put it on his IMDB. He's probably ashamed and doesn't want "tap dancing c00n" to go on his resume.
Anyone else have a feeling Chalky might end up alone? Something tells me Daughter won't make it to next seasonand more than likely his wife will leave him
There's pretty much no way Daughter makes it out alive this season. She's written to be the tragic character.
How he dies in real life got changed a little bit.
On November 3, 1924, Dean O'Banion inadvertently signed his own death warrant during an argumentative phone call to arch-rival Angelo Genna. Their disagreement originated at "The Ship", the gambling casino that the North Side gang boss owned along with the Torrio Syndicate. On this day, O'Banion sat in with Al Capone, Frank Nitti, Frank Rio, and others to tally the week's profits. It was mentioned that Angelo Genna had dropped a large amount of cash, plus a sizable marker. Capone recommended that they cancel the marker as a professional courtesy. O'Banion, instead, got Genna on the telephone and demanded that he pay his debt within a week. With this personal insult, Angelo Genna and his family could no longer be restrained.[3] Until then, Mike Merlo and the Unione Siciliana had refused to sanction a hit on O'Banion. However, Merlo had terminal cancer and died on November 8, 1924. With Merlo gone, the Gennas and South Siders were free to move on O'Banion.
Using the Merlo funeral as a cover story, over the next few days Brooklyn gangster Frankie Yale and others visited Schofield's, O'Banion's flower shop, to discuss floral arrangements. However, the real purpose of these visits was to memorize the store layout for the hit on O'Banion.
On the morning of November 10, 1924, O'Banion was clipping chrysanthemums in Schofield's back room. Yale entered the shop with Genna gunmen John Scalise and Albert Anselmi. When O'Banion and Yale shook hands, Yale grasped O'Banion's hand in a tight grip. At the same time, Scalise and Anselmi stepped aside and fired two bullets into O'Banion's chest and two into his throat. One of the killers fired a final shot into the back of his head as he lay face down on the floor.

that was the best ep in a long time, season has been really strong so far. Miller is kind of ehh so far, but the other new characters have been great

Ahh, forgot about that...they probably didn't want to rush to introduce new characters just to facilitate Obanion's death. With the "forced" feel to the brewery raid, it's probably for the best. They could've done a better job showing that Torrio and Obanion did business together.
They gotta show the funeral...it was supposed to have been the biggest mob funeral to date.
The biggest question for me is: where does Van Alden go from here? I'm guessing he joins the Bugs and the North Side Gang in their war against Capone.
He can always go with Capone, saying I was going to do it before the dudes came in. They have good chemistry together on screen because they're polar opposites. With Van Alden having the same underlying hate for him as he did for O'Banion. His character is going to be around for a while because of all the major events that happens in Chicago.
